[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I 100% think teachers are in no position to teach leadership.

OTOH, I hire 20 something’s in Montgomery county and the 1st 5 years of training involve communication, leadership and Franklin Covey for becoming organized and efficient.

But I agree you are not qualified to teach it. Kids should go to these classes by qualified staff.[/quote]

You don’t think teachers are capable of teaching.. leadership? Seek homeschool then. Yikes. No one needs to be “qualified” to teach this complete bs. Anyone with a functioning brain could easily teach it and also realize how stupid it is at the same time. [/quote]

Yes just like I f’ing think an English teacher should teach math.

Teachers are not leaders.

Clearly OP can’t teach it. It’s a solid program and needed if taught properly.

Really? How many teachers do you know that are actual leaders? [/quote]

First of all, you’re a moron. Period.

Second of all, even people as dumb as you could teach this. Done! Doesn’t require any specialization. It actually requires negative brain cells. You have to be a covey shill. I just feel sorry for you.[/quote]

Sorry but teachers are not qualified to teach everything. I know it hurts your feeling. But leadership is needed in the real world and academia is not the real world. Teachers don’t have any experience in a business, they are rarely educated enough to teach most things.

I’m on your side, I don’t think YOU should teach this.

You think..
You think the 7 habits are required in the corporate world? Sorry…
Anyone who works in the real world knows bs when they see it.
You sound like you actually need some help.[/quote]

Forbes disagrees with you.

There's a poster who has their panties in a bunch over this. They likely have a vested interest in some competing program because they seem to fixate on it. Personally, I wish school would focus more on reading books and less on these SEL expeditions but whatever.[/quote]

Nope just see teachers who are good at what they are good at and completely out of their element when it comes to leadership.[/quote]

The program seems fine so that leaves one or two possibilities, but if I were to bet, I'd go with it's one or two fixated posters. [/quote]
The DCUM Way![/quote]

I can't decide if the cult-like Leader in Me PR team is on this thread defending that garbage, or if it's defensive MCPS administrators worried they'll get called out for misusing funds. Either way, there's no value added and it's harmful if only because it sucks time and resources away from other more important areas. [/quote]
